英情侣因疫情独享古堡

A young British couple have spent coronavirus lockdown in a medieval castle with a spa, cinema, and 83 guest rooms.

一对年轻的英国夫妇在一座中世纪城堡中度过了新冠疫情封锁期，城堡里有水疗、影院和83间客房。

Laura Jamieson and Michael Smith have been the sole occupants of an 800-year-old five-star hotel, Ashford Castle in Ireland, for nine weeks.

爱尔兰的阿什福德城堡是拥有800年历史的五星级酒店，劳拉·杰米森和迈克尔·史密斯是这家城堡酒店九个星期里仅有的入住者。

They moved into the castle when lockdown began to maintain its buildings and 350-acre estate until the time comes for tourists to be allowed to visit.

他们在封锁初期搬入城堡，负责建筑和350英亩庄园的维修工作，直至这里重新对游客开放。

Laura said, "It's been surreal. We've been incredibly fortunate that we were able to have this experience."

劳拉说：“这太不真实了。能有这样的经历，我们非常幸运。”

But they admitted it's not all as glamorous as it may sound.

但他们也承认，住在这里并不像听起来那么迷人。

They are responsible for keeping the massive property clean - vacuuming, flushing 160 toilets and dusting chandeliers.

他们要负责这座巨大庄园的卫生清洁，包含吸尘，冲洗160个厕所，给吊灯除尘等工作。
